A/N: I'm sorry this chapter took so long to come out. If you haven't read my profile information, then I'll state what it says here. I do not have internet at my home. I can only use it when I go to a friend's house. I do however, try to write at home whenever I can on my broken laptop. (Writing documents seems to be the only thing it's good for.) Another thing, I know Rayne told Sookie about what Eric wanted with her at the end of the last chapter. Let's pretend for argument's sake that that conversation never happened. =] Alrighty, on with chapter 4!


I woke up with a start. I didn't dream of Eric that night. I had the same nightmare I had many times before. The one of the beautiful red-haired vampire being betrayed by her own people.

"Vad helveten är förorätta med jag?"

I gasped my hand over my mouth. What the fuck? What the hell language did I just speak? In my head I heard, 'What the hell is wrong with me?' in English. Then that came out. Someone weird is wrong with me and I'm starting to get worried. This has never happened to me and I don't like it.

I quickly pulled out my laptop and began finding a website that could tell me what language I just spoke. Sure enough I found out.

I just spoke Swedish for the first time in my life.

I started talking without thinking, trying to see if somehow overnight I managed to learn an entire language.

"Mig namn er Rayne Krasch och JAG er absolut sinnessjuk.."

My name is Rayne Crassus and I am completely insane..

Oh fuck.

I called the only person I could talk to: Sookie

I picked up the phone with shaking hands and was about to call my friend when the phone started ringing. Sure enough, it was Sookie.

"I was just about to call you."

"Wow. What for."

"You're not going to believe this."

"Try me."

"I just.. well, I just learned.. Swedish"

"That's nice I guess. But what made you want to learn Swedish?"

"No, I don't mean it like that. I kind of just... woke up.. and learned Swedish."

Hysterical laughing. I'm glad she thought this was hilarious.

"Sookie I'm serious! Vilja du lyssna till jag!"

Will you listen to me!

"Woah, you're not joking are you?"

"Do you think I'd joke about something like this." I wanted to shake her over the phone.

"How did it happen?"

"How the hell am I supposed to know? I just woke up and it happened! I don't know what the hell's going on with me but I don't like this. Yesterday I'm a telepath, and today I'm a Swede? I don't understand."

"Say something in Swedish again! It sounds so cool when you say it!"

Now I wanted to choke her over the phone. "Sookie , JAG svära till Gud Jag er går till döda du om du icke gör det stopp spelsätten lik en barnen!"

Sookie, I swear to god I'm going to kill you if you don't stop acting like a child!

"Woah, what'd you say?"

"Sookie, I said I'd kill you if you didn't shut up! I'm serious here!"

"Well I'm sorry Rayne, I just don't get information like this very often. I don't really know how to react."

"I don't either Sookie! Whatever, change of subject. I'm going to Fangtasia tonight."

"WHAT! WHY!" I heard her drop the phone and then pick it back up.

"Nice to see that now you're serious. Eric wants to talk to me at Fangtasia."

"No Rayne! You can't go!"

"I don't really have much of a choice Sookie."

"I'm going with you."

"No Sookie. I'm going alone."

"Like hell you are! You don't know Eric! He could have you killed and make it look like an accident!"

"I don't think he will."

"You don't know him Rayne! He could torture you and we'd have no idea where you would be!"

"Now see that's not true. I could mentally lead you to me."

"Rayne, I'm really against this. I don't think it's a good idea. If it weren't for Bill he'd do the same thing to me."

"Sookie, I'll be fine. I've been around more vampires than you think. Just stay here and wait for me. Eric knows I'm a telepath now. Plus..." I stopped myself. I didn't want Sookie to know about the vision I had of Eric as a child. That's all I need right now. "Nevermind. Look, I'm going tonight and I'll be okay. I'll bring a silver necklace just in case."

"Alright. Just be careful. If anything happens to you, I'll stake him, I swear."

"Okay Sookie, and thank you for worrying about me. You're a good friend."

"You're welcome Rayne."

"Bye."

I hung up the phone and sat down on the bed. It was late afternoon and I had a few hours before I was supposed to be at Fangtasia. I had no idea what Eric wanted with me, but I had the feeling I wasn't going to care much for it. Then it hit me.

What the hell am I going to wear?

I didn't want to look too 'delectable' as Pam so blatantly put it. Conservative maybe. But I kind of wanted Eric to notice me.

Get that out of your head right now. Attracting vampires attention is unwise. You should know this.

I decided I would blend into the crowd. I had picked a red PVC corset with skin tight black leather pants that laced on the sides of the waist. I put on my outfit and realized I looked a lot like the Scarlet Witch from the old X-Men comics. I sighed and turned to my closet and put on a pair of black platform heels.. I walked over to the bathroom and applied my makeup. Smoky eyes with bright red lips. I straightened my hair and curled it inward so it was framing my face. I looked at my self in the mirror, impressed. I looked pretty damn good. I wouldn't stand out too much I hoped. Before I set out the door I grabbed my silver Celtic cross necklace, just as I told Sookie I was going to, and put it around my neck.

I got in my car and set out for a sure-to-be hectic night at Fangtasia.
